Bristol's She Makes War is unveiling blinding new cut "Drown Me Out" on Best Fit.
The track features on She Makes War's upcoming third long-player, Direction Of Travel.
"Drown Me Out" is led by swaggering rhythms and gigantic, almost symphonic percussion. Over the top of this grand bedrock is a layer of needly riffs and gossamer-light vocals - this track is as dark and emotional as you'd expect from She Makes War, but there's a greater weight behind it that delivers a knockout blow.
Direction Of Travel is out 8 April (29 April physical) via The state51 Conspiracy. It's produced by She Makes War and mixed by Dan Austin (Doves, Pixies).
